| [00:28.408] |
Born in a slum in Rome |
| [00:31.709] |
Born in filth and rags |
| [00:35.062] |
You climb the weary road of youth |
| [00:37.917] |
Alone and often sad |
| [00:41.618] |
You climb the hills your feet get sore |
| [00:45.189] |
And then your heart goes numb |
| [00:48.356] |
And as you reach your teenage years |
| [00:51.426] |
A whore you do become |
| [00:53.566] |
And as I see you |
| [00:56.817] |
My eyes fill with tears |
| [01:00.310] |
It’s the same old story |
| [01:03.564] |
It’s been going for years |
| [01:09.419] |
Well now all around you men do fall |
| [01:15.210] |
But you know don’t you know |
| [01:17.858] |
That you’re just lust’s pawn |
| [01:21.902] |
The poverty you felt in youth |
| [01:24.568] |
Well it still plays a part |
| [01:28.541] |
The poverty once in your purse |
| [01:31.541] |
Well now it’s in your heart |
| [01:34.002] |
And when I see you … |
| [01:36.725] |
My eyes fill with tears |
| [01:40.237] |
It’s the same old story |
| [01:43.432] |
It’s been going for years |
| [01:49.040] |
So now the money starts to flow |
| [01:51.592] |
Well how sweet for a short time |
| [01:55.395] |
But then the sweetness does turn sour |
| [01:58.466] |
It’s another weary time |
| [02:00.900] |
And when I see you … |
| [02:03.399] |
My eyes fill with tears |
| [02:06.954] |
It’s the same old story |
| [02:10.387] |
It’s been going for years |
| [02:13.689] |
And when I see you … |
| [02:16.979] |
My eyes fill with tears |
| [02:20.420] |
It’s the same old story |
| [02:23.818] |
It’s been going for years |
